I'm convinced that one day Langdon will be in the injury report with "self-bitten tongue" 

Those of us who concentrate with our tongue out always know when to retract to avoid a bite.

An instinctive, intuitive and instant self preservation technique, not dissimilar to avoiding tackles.

I'm starting to think people given the name Max at birth have been given some sort of psycho-physiological boost that makes them grow above 2 meters tall. Max Gawn, Max King, Max Lynch, Max Ramsden, etc. (And didn't we also have a draftee called Max King who was a ruckman but never quite made the big time? Or have I remembered incorrectly?)

Max Smart (Don Adams) 171 cm 😱

I'm sticking with my assessment. After all, Get Smart was a spoof of the James Bond genre and as such I'll claim that Mel Brooks as the show's creator deliberately called a smaller stature actor "Max" as part of the whole spoof theme. Just like Australians call oversize people "Tiny" and shorter people "Lofty".

He is. I reckon they'll play him in the 2s to get match conditioning.

A Sunday game at Frankston. A lovely ground but the local crowd can be lively to say the least.

A great sausage sizzle as I recall

Two players unaccounted for who missed in the VFL last week. Majak Daw and JVR. 

Not injured but rested?

Out sick from what I heard.

Awful News

I don’t understand why Tmac was training on that last week? Given out abysmal history with foot injuries why weren’t we being somewhat precautionary? I’m seeing players like Petty,  BBrown and Trac played when it’s clear they’re not right. I’m concerned we’re being  overly cavalier with injuries atm and starting to pay the price.

It’s not cheap to get scans done so they probably went on the assumption that it was a small tweak and when it continued to get worse after training they did the scans.

Petracca was ill, and put his hand up as being fit to play last week. What did the club do wrong there?

Goodwin was directly asked if Brown's fit last night and responded with a simple "yes". There's no other evidence or even rumour to suggest he's injured, so maybe his poor form is just that, poor form.

Not sure there's really an issue here right now.

Jon Ralph just announced on Fox Footy that Tmac will miss a minimum of 12 weeks and could be out potentially for 12 months with a Lisfranc tear in his foot. We'll have no choice now but to persist with Weid as the second tall, which isn't such a bad thing... Other than that I would love to try Petty forward again. We have Tomlinson as a decent 3rd tall defender and was a standout last year before he did his ACL. Time to throw the magnets around after two losses in a row.

You can almost guarantee that is exactly what Goodwin won't do.

Are you saying that as a criticism or a compliment?

Given all the other news today there is no way Petty survives this Test.

Petty hearing about May and Tmac and getting out the industrial strength sticky tape 

 

This Is Fine GIF

There is a picture of Rosman in the MFC Gallery of training pics. He is kicking and so I am guessing his hamstring looks to be minor.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
